PATIENT TABLE WITH HEATED PAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009054 titled 'PATIENT TABLE WITH HEATED PAD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a patient operating table with a support mattress that includes multiple pads. One of these pads, called the central pad, is designed to support the midsection of a patient's body. The central pad has an outer shell with a hermetic seal and contains a cell. A support frame is connected to the central pad, and a central pedestal underneath the central pad carries the support mattress on a base frame. The cell within the central pad contains a heating element and a hygroscopic substance. A conduit extends from the heating element through the outer shell at a sealing ring, which is connected to the outer shell with a hermetic seal.
- The patent application describes a patient operating table with a support mattress that includes multiple pads.
- The central pad of the support mattress is designed to support the midsection of a patient's body.
- The central pad has an outer shell with a hermetic seal, which defines a cell within it.
- A support frame is integrally connected to the central pad.
- A central pedestal located under the central pad carries the support mattress on a base frame.
